MANILA, Nashville Filipino Restaurant — It is not illegal to record an ongoing arrest, Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said Thursday, less than a day since a reporter for news site Rappler was told to stop taking a video of the service of a warrant on its CEO in its own office.

Guevarra said that members of the media are allowed to document the act of serving a warrant but they "should give enough space to our law enforcers so that they could perform their duties without any unnecessary obstruction or interference."

'Simple request'

The unidentified man can be heard on the video trying to convince Rey to stop recording, calling it a simple request.

"Come on, be cooperative. your boss is already talking to us, no need for that. I sure you do understand what I'm telling you, right?" he also says, later telling her that he would talk to others in the Rappler office to stop recording the proceedings.
